About
I am creating The Weight of Light, a new exhibition of sculptural installations exploring light, reflection, sound and matter. Opening in Lisbon during the Até Chá tea festival, the works explore how perception shapes our shared experience of reality
Impact
By exploring light as both a physical force and a metaphor for seeing, the project asks how perception shapes reality, and how bringing something into view can change the meaning and weight it carries.
Progress
I have transformed an empty space in Lisbon from scratch into a working studio, soon to become an exhibition and community space. In parallel, I have begun conceptualizing, testing materials and producing the first works for The Weight of Light.
Team
Because I’ve committed to making this happen. I started with an empty space in Lisbon and the ambition to build from the ground up: a studio, an exhibition and a place for experimentation and exchange. I’m now determined to see it take physical form.
